What a relief!

Still humid today but in the 80s only. What a relief! I believe all our relatives on the East coast are suffering, however, with triple digit temps today.

I guess kiddie horror doesn't quite get to me like, say, Silence of the Lambs or CSI does, however. Only Rose was truly frightened at times. At one point, when the house first started t...
